Requirements
-Gaming oriented but not game specific (include things from various games)
-Suits current website color scheme and layout
-Awp logo a focal point
-Must look awesome!

We are taking this very seriously, since it is something that all of us will be seeing every day. Before voting, management will be prescreening the submissions and removing any that we feel don't make the grade. While it might be hilarious, we're not going to accept submissions like this.

We are very hopeful that we will get many submissions and we aren't restricting anyone to a submission limit. That is, anyone can submit as many graphics as they want. We don't want to deny anyone the chance to give us their best work possible so please feel free to go PHOTOSHOP CRAZY!

Once the voting starts, another news post will be made with full instructions on how to submit your vote. Hopefully before the end of the week we will have a spot where you can submit your finished work. Please tell as many people as you know to come sign up for the forum and start working on something.

Good luck!

Phoenix Edit:
you can find the logo used in the current banner:Here Both logos are acceptable.

Good luck!

well best of luck to everybody, I'll be submitting one so people feel better about their work

[Al Capwn]

I'm definitely going to try and put something together. I suck royally at photoshop, but maybe someone will take an idea of mine and recreate it in theirs and actually do it right lol

After having many stupid problems trying to start this. I just made another desktop background and posted it on my facebook. I'll attempt again once I'm done raging at the internet.

Will everyone be able to see all the submissions ?

[Al Capwn]

Yessir, we'll probably have a thread where everyone can post their finished works. When it is time for the vote, I will go through and put all of the graphics from the thread into the voting application I am half done writing and everyone will be able to vote.

[Timi]

Also, need font of top and bottom text of awp logo

[Al Capwn]

Timi, the logo was made years ago by locked, I have no idea what exact font it was that was used for his. It doesn't need to be the EXACT same text.

Also, I have changed the thumbnails on the submissions page so that when you click on them, it brings you to a preview of the website with your graphic in the banner. This way, you can see what it would look like with the rest of the site. The image is specified in the url of the preview page, so if you want to preview your graphic before submitting it, you can host it somewhere and stick the url of the image into the url of the preview page.
